Cheer up, son!: Ian Beale and the Moon brothers Michael,Tyler and Anthony take Fatboy to a strip club to cheer him up


He was recently seen sobbing in the street after his wife Mercy left him to disappear into the unknown.

So EastEnders' cheeky chap Arthur 'Fatboy' Chubb has been in dire need of cheering up.

With that in mind, his considerate friends from Albert Square organise an expedition out of Walford and make a beeline for a strip club.

Chin up, bruv!: Tyler Moon places a comforting arm around Fatboy as they make their way to the strip joint


Accompanied by Ian Beale, Michael Moon,Tyler Moon, and Anthony Moon - making his first appearance on the soap - Fatboy heads for the strip joint in his grey suit and pink shirt.

Meanwhile the rest of the gang, bar Michael, are a little underdressed.

And poor Fatboy appears to have a fat lip and a cut above his left eye too.

Your name's not down... Anthony holds Tyler back after they're turned away from the strip club

Well, my first lap dancing experience wasn't the best: Ian Beale chats with Michael Moon outside the club


So it's hardly a surprise when some of the group are turned away when they attempt to get into the club.

Tempestuous Tyler tries to fight with the club's bouncer but Anthony calms him down.

Finally, a composed Ian and Michael are allowed, while Fatboy and the younger Moon brothers have to head back to Albert Square with their tails between their legs.

The Fatboy-Mercy saga came to a climax recently, with Mercy leaving for destination unknown leaving Fatboy bereft by a bus stop.

It's believed she returned to her native Nigeria, but Dot Cotton suggested she could have flown to Peru.

Mercy was threatened with deportation but Fatboy decided to try and help her stay by marrying her.

SPOILER ALERT: THIRD gay character in Albert Square, as Ben Mitchell reveals sexuality

By Daily Mail Reporter


As Coronation Street comes under fire for broadcasting too many gay plotlines, EastEnders introduces its third gay character to Walford.

At just 15-years-old, teenager Ben Mitchell will reveal his true sexuality, devastating his masculine father Phil in the process.

Actor Joshua Pascoe, who is the fourth actor to play the part of Ben, joins couple Syed Masood and Christian Clarke as 'the only gays in the village'.

Coming out: Joshua Pascoe, who plays Ben Mitchell, will be the third gay member of the soap


An EastEnders source told The Mirror: 'Since the day Ben returned to Walford, he’s been a bit of a disappointment for Phil.

'With his love of dancing and musicals, Ben was not cast from the same tough guy mould as his father.

'It’s ironic that Phil’s efforts to turn his son into a mini version of himself backfire spectacularly when he encourages Ben to go boxing with Duncan.'

The insider added: 'But no one could anticipate the chain of events this will spark around Walford as Ben tries to keep his sexuality secret from his father.

'Poor Ben is terrified of Phil’s reaction but the truth will come out, sooner or later.'

The controversial storyline sees Ben and Duncan's relationship blossom when Ben takes a risk by planting a kiss on his friend.

He is stunned when Duncan returns his affections, rather than pushing him away in disgust.

But when Patrick Trueman spots them, Ben is terrified the shopkeeper will tell his father and heads to his mini-mart to intimidate him.

The situation goes from bad to worse when terrified Patrick calls the police, leaving Phil fuming and demanding an apology.

Loyal Patrick refuses to say sorry, but does keeps the truth about Ben.

Fellow EastEnders Syed Masood and Christian Clarke, played by Marc Elliott and John Partridge, caused controversy during a recent scene that saw them lying in bed together, apparently naked beneath the sheets.

Over 100 viewers complained, saying the intimacy was 'inappropriate'.

But the BBC hit back, saying the show has a duty to reflect 'real life'.
